November 29: Reunion Photos Are Mailed

First AO-36 Reunion Spawns Second

By all accounts we have heard, the first ever all-hands Kennebec reunion went off with nary a hitch. Some minor problems like an overflowing hospitality suite will be easily solved the next time. One indication of the reunion was that the membership in attendance voted overwhelmingly to hold the second reunion in fall 2002. The Gold Coast Hotel and Casino treated us very well, but the 2002 reunion will probably be held on the East coast in order to make it easier for our eastern shipmates to attend. Details will be forthcoming.

Silent Auction A Huge Success

The generosity of the members and wives was in evident during the silent auction as a nice variety of donated items was displayed amid active bidding. At the end of the five hour auction period, the results were tallied and $859.00 was added to the reunion coffers. Association members may view the original auction sheet with the buyers names and winning amounts. Thank you to all who participated!
